EX-SHORTIUDGER WINS HONOR
Word comes to us that ex-Short-
ridger Betty Neeves, now a student
at Northwestern University has received a Sophomore rating in English. Only four out of nine hundred
were thus honored and Betty is one
of the four. Betty made quite a
name for herself here in Shortridge
as secretary of the Fiction Club,
Editorial Board, Christmas Ecno
staff, and co-editor for Wednesday's
Echo. Betty was also the attractive May Queen in the Vergilian
Pageant.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
"I see before me a vast multitude
of" — opportunities. Seniors! Lend
me your pencils. I come to write
a story, not to tell one. "The good
we do lives after us" — so write
that story and enter it for Annual
competition. Boys, here's your
chance to stop shoveling snow every
time you want to take Susie to the
cinema. Girls, here's your chance
to enhance your beauty without
arguing for the necessary sheckles.
One hundred lemon cokes (at 5c
each), six shows, with dates, (twelve
without boys). A nice thing to flash
in any circles! Get one and be the
life of any party! Be able to say,
"They laughed when Susie ordered
a sandwich and a double milk shake,
but little did they know that I was
the proud possessor of a Five Dollar
BlU."
Therefore, Seniors, compose your
masterpiece and enter the competition for the prize story for the 1936
Annual and win the Five Dollar
prize offered by the Social Committee to the author of the most
devestating story.
